Note: I'm only using the vanilla Anvil architecture as references so I can build the terrain around them. I'll replace that with English architecture once we get some.

These pictures are of the southern peninsula of Shetland. Normally it would be a lot longer, but I had to shrink it some because there was too much space.

After taking some pictures of it in Oblivion, rather than just looking at it in the CS, it's evident that I'm gonna have to add more rocks and a few more shrubs so the land isn't so barren. Also, I read on Wikipedia that Shetland "is marked by the grazing of sheep and the rarity of trees. The flora is dominated by Arctic-alpine plants, wild flowers, moss and lichen." So, the rest of Shetland will probably mostly dry grass, shrubs, wildflowers, and rocks, and some trees here and there.

Anyone have any suggestions on architecture/landscape/scenery?

it maybe wise to directly ask you what assets you want me to build as you r the one doing the level editting ...

and i think we need to decide what graphic element, design we should includ in this project now as i can start gradually working on the list of models once decided ....
